Does the Comit d’Aide Mdicale only intervene in foreign countries ?
No. For several years now, CAM has been running projects in France, which have been carried out in the socio-medical sector. Some examples include eliminating lead poisoning in the department of Seine Saint Denis (from intoxication of lead paint in old buildings), providing emergency housing in case of disaster, and organizing Health Day at Epinay sur Seine. The organization also regularly intervenes in France under exceptional circumstances like flooding, by sending professionally trained mental health staff to help victims.
